Woah...

This image was taken with an aperture of 4.0, a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second, and an ISO of 1000. I also used a 70-200 lens to capture this image. My goal for the night to get at least one really good image. This image was my favorite because of the action and the formation on the guy jumping with the football.

Halftime (make up for October 25)

My settings for this image were set at a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second, an ISO of 1000, and an aperture 4.0. I used a 70-200 lens when I took this image. This photo was taken during halftime at our last home football game of the year. I like how the background is blurred and her facial expression.

Mixed Emotions (this is a make up for October 6th)

Both of these images were taken at the senior pep rally. The first one was taken during class cheers, while the second image was taken durning the senior video. These images showed a lot of emotion, something that I wanted to capture. These images were taken with a 70-200mm lens and a 430 flash.

Attempt at the book cover assignment

My goal was to at least get the lighting and their positions correct for the book cover project. I used a 17-50mm lens and a 50 flash, along with a snoot. My settings were set for a 100 ISO, aperture of 16, and a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second. It took a long time for me to figure out the angle and what direction the flash on the stand needed to be facing. I told Claire that I didn't care what face she made because I was mainly trying to get Brianna, but I later learned that Claire needed to have her eyes closed. This picture ended up not working out for the book cover project, but I did enter in ATPI for the studio portrait category. I really like the eye contact in this image; it makes the photograph stand out.

The blog you told us not to do.

Homecoming

 ISO 800, aperture 2.8, and a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second

ISO 800, aperture 2.8, and a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second

Both of these images were taken at the homecoming football game with a 70-200 lens and a 50D camera. The first image was taken before the game. I really like this photograph because it shows emotion. The second image was taken after the football game. Emotion was also shown in this image, but it was more peaceful. I love how the football players have their heads down, eyes closed, and the way that they are all holding onto each other. Pictures with emotion shown within them are my favorite because you don't have to explain anything, you just know the feeling when you look at the image.

Nerd Day

These images were taken on Nerd Day at the STUCO/leadership table outside of the cafeteria of Texas High with a 17-50 lens. The first image was the worst out of the three because my shutter speed and aperture were wrong. The photograph didn't turn out bad thanks to the lighting outside, but the background was way more in focus than I had expected. The second and third photographs were an improvement compared to the first image. The change to the correct aperture created a background that was more blurred. I like these images a lot because they show the emotion and "look" of a nerd. Out of the three images, the third one is my favorite because it shows happiness, yet she is still nerdy.

Volleyball FAIL

I absolutely despise this image. My settings, ISO of 1000, aperture of 2.8, and a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second, were correct. Also, I used a 70-200 lens. Luckily, I was able to capture the ball and action within the volleyball images that I took, but this image is the worst. She is out of focus, the girls' legs are cut off, and she is making a funky face. This taught me that I really need to pay attention to where my focus point is.

Look at those Black Jerseys

My ISO was 1250, an aperture of 3.2, and a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second. I used a 70-200 F/2.8 lens for the first time at this game and absolutely loved it. I like this photo because of the blurred background and the captured movement.
